 | 30th Jan 2010 | Northampton Head 2010
Our first event of the year at a freezing cold Northampton Head. This saw us come away with four wins - Vet C 4x-, Vet C 2x-, Novice 2x- and Womens Novice 4+. Frustrating for the Womens IM3 crews, who placed 2nd, 3rd and 4th! Racing debuts for four members today, including a wnning start for Ashling. Congratulations to Thomas, Jon and Rob as well, all of whom came through our learn to row course last summer.
Thanks to all the willing photographers yesterday - as you can see from the photos, I spent all day racing or coxing!

 | 9th Jan 2010 | Caldecotte Lake, Milton Keynes, January 2010
We've had ice on the lake before but never anything like this. The entire lake has frozen over and the ice (as shown in one of the photos) is around 2 inches thick. It had started thawing by the time I got to photograph it and the ensuing "water hole" attracted all the local birdlife. Our poor boats have been coated as well - noticeable that the black boat seems to have shed its snowy cover first though
|
 | 22nd Nov 2009 | Marlow Head 2009
Awful weather but great racing out at Marlow today. The event was held on a windswept, rainy Dorney Lake, with five boats out.
Pride of place to Tim and I, winning the Vet Doubles, but good results from all the others, including an impressive second place for the Women IM2 4+ and fourth places for the IM3 and Novice Ladies. The IM3 boat including Andi and Frances in their first ever race.
|
 | 15th Nov 2009 | Veteran Fours Head 2009
Such a long, long way. The Veteran Fours Head runs over the Boat Race course (but with the tide, fortunately) and it really is challenging. Still, a good row especially having had to swap Tim in for Simon at the last minute.
61st overall and fifth (of eight) in Vet C category. Really pleased and showing definite progress as a crew
|
 | 1st Nov 2009 | Upper Thames Head 2009
Four boats out in quite horrid conditions, two Ladies fours, Paul and Josh in an IM3 double and Steve and I in a Vet D double.
Pretty good times from all of us although well beaten in each category. The ladies performed very well, considering they were "rowing up" at IM1 and IM2 with what are IM3 crews.
Steve and I had the odd experience of overtaking Paul and Josh - twice! The weather levelled off their better power and our greater experience paid off
|
 | 17th Oct 2009 | Pairs Head 2009
Such a long, long way! 4k on the Tideway is bad enough but rowing back was murder (having boated at Tideway Scullers).
Not quite the calm, sunny conditions of last year; the Thames was decidedly choppy and rough. This made for some difficult sculling but (despite Steve not being 100%) we didn't come last in Vet D, beating one crew.
A great feeling to have done this but feeling it the day after...

 | 11th Oct 2009 | Bedford Autumn Small Boats Head 2009
No wins at today's Bedford Autumn Head but not too disappointed. Some very strong performances, mainly from the Womens' Squad - no less than FIVE fours out, using different combinations. Highest placed was the W.IM2 4+, coming second.
Good rows too from Paul and Josh on their racing début at Nov 2x and our Quad showing progress by splitting the two Guildford crews to come third. Steve and Clare had an event free row and nice to see junior crews back and racing too.
|
 | 4th Oct 2009 | St Neots Head 2009
First head race of the season saw another great win from the Women's Squad. Racing at IM2 for the first time (and despite three of them suffering colds) the first crew powered through to win by 5 seconds.
Only two other boats out, a second WIM2 and MXd Vet C, with Clare and Steve making a racing debut together
|
 | 13th Sep 2009 | Cambridge Autumn Regatta 2009
Nice to see out the regatta season with a final pair of wins. These came from the Women's CRA Eight (pots but no pints!) giving a first win for "John Cunningham" and on only their second regatta race in the eight and a Mixed IM3 4+.
Notable for Tim's first pots with us and Lindy's last (hopefully only temporarily, while she's at Uni) plus Steph's first coxing pot.

 | 22nd Aug 2009 | Warwick Regatta 2009
Back to winning ways for the Womens Squad at the wonderful Warwick Regatta. Possibly our visit to this event, but one we'll be back for. The course is challenging but run just downstream fro Warwick Castle (which you can see from the start). Run as a Primary Regatta, there were no points so less pressure and guaranteed crews at least two races.
The WIM3 4+ (slightly changed from normal with Lou stepping in) saw off Evesham A and B in the heat and then doubled up on Evesham B in the final. Our other two boats (John in a J16 1x and Tim and I in our first race together as IM3 2x-) didn't do so well, both failing to get through the fist round

to 26th Jul 2009 | St Neots Summer Regatta 2009
Looking for the positives from this week-end, it shows how much we've come along as a club as we were all disappointed to come away with no pots from St. Neots.
Saturday saw the IM3 4+ women go down to the Broxbourne boat they beat at Bedford, the IM2 (!) 4x crew were well beaten (why SNRC put us in at that level is a mystery anyway) and Steve and I were beaten by a strong Peterborough double. The first eight of the week-end saw MKRC debuts for Tim, Stuart and Alex
Sunday saw a very unlucky Womens Novice 4+ crew suffer a boat stopping crab in the second round, while leading. The (really pleased to see this) Womens EIGHT lost a terribly close final to Barnes Bridge Ladies, having beaten Maidstone Invicta in the semi. The other crews (Mixed 4x and Vet D 2x-) also lost out.
|
 | 12th Jul 2009 | Bedford Quarts Regatta 2009
Another big win for the Womens IM3 4+ boat today. Despite losing Lindy back to Zimbabwe, Paula stepped in and they won all three rounds convincingly to take home the Quart pots.
Steve and I were outclassed, having to row at IM2 as no Vet competition and we struggled in the Quad but lost by just one length to Lincoln
|
 | 10th Jul 2009 | Henley Veteran's Regatta 2009
Great day out at the Henley Veteran's Regatta. Neither of our two crews (Steve and I as Vet D 2x- and Charlene, Paula, Helen and Becks with Jo coxing as Vet B 4+) made it past the first round, unfortunately.
Steve and I showed progress by losing to Nemesis by just 3/4 length (as opposed to 3 1/2 lengths over a shorter distance at Cambridge!) but the girls put in a good row but still finished well down on Nottingham
|
 | 14th Jun 2009 | National Veteran Rowing Championships 2009
Our first visit to the Nat Vets. Agony for the Womens Vet B IM3 4+ crew, who came second by just half a second to Eton Excelsior.
The Vet C Quad came last of four while the Vet D Open 2x finished 3rd
|
 | 13th Jun 2009
to 14th Jun 2009 | Star Regatta 2009
Crews out on both days at this year's Star Regatta. No wins on Saturday from the Seniors (Womens IM3 4+, IM2 2x-, Vet B 4x- or IM2 2-) but two Junior wins. Sunday was better with wins for a Senior Mixed IM3 4+ crew and for the junior quad.
Just a few photos today - I spent most of the day sculling or coxing!
Following my de-novicing at Peterborough, Steve and I now have to row at IM2 - scary!
